spamming ur friendslist

So bradcpu was having vidding idea angst today, and apparently it's contagious.

Because, y'all, it's Doctor Who, and it's to a song I could stand to listen to over and over, but there are:

Thematic problems: It's pretty much nothing but angst, and also the lyrics are kind of sexual. I like the dubious platonicity of Doctor / Rose love; I would have to really, really work the metaphors both in song and footage to get it to a place I'm comfortable with. Also, the POV isn't immediately clear in my head, but that's pretty standard.

Technical problems: Getting my hard drive clean enough to vid is a massive (if admittedly already necessary) undertaking. Also, I don't know how to do fancy, fancy effects like slow motion. Fade to black almost did me in last time. So the learning curve will be steep.

More thematic problems: Why do I never have sweet, cute, hilarious ideas? No, it's all angst all the time. ::heavy sigh::

Time management problems: or, how awesome is it that I'm on vacation long enough to go "what do I want to do? Work more on fic, or vid?" Maybe I can do both?

::contemplates::

Incidentally, where do y'all get your DW torrents? Anonymous comments are screened, so if anyone wants to drop me a community recommendation, that would be supercool.

What editing software do you use? I only ask because altering the speed of clips is dead easy with mine.

Sounds like our ideas are problematic in a similar way, especially what with the sexual and the technical.

Are you sure you're not me??

I'm not sure if when you say "anonymous comments are screened", you're wanting people to comment anonymously so you can screen them? If so, feel free to delete this. Also, yay DW vid!

For torrents, I usually try here (http://thesprawl.se/) first. Other places I go to when that fails are here (http://www.torrentspy.com/"), here (http://www.tvtorrents.com/), or here (http://www.demonoid.com/).

I know what you mean about having to get your hard drive clean -- I imagine laptops aren't ideal for vidding anyway, but video clips take up so much room (I have been itching to vid lately, which is surprising because I haven't made a music video in ages, but of course I only get cracky ideas that will entertain only me)! The only program I've ever used is WMM, though, and I don't think it can do slow motion, so I can't help you there. Still, good luck with all of your creative ambitions -- it is nice to have the free time to do various fannish things!
